Homemade Strawberry Jam
Ingredients
- 1.5 pints fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 large lemon, zested and juiced
Instructions
- Place a plate in the freezer. You’ll want to use a very cold plate to test the juice to see that it gels together.
- Combine the sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice in a sauce pan.
- Cook and stir over very low heat, for 10-15 minutes, until sugar is dissolved.
- Add the strawberries and continue to cook on low heat for 20-30 minutes.
- The strawberries will release their juices and the mixture should start to boil slowly.
- Continue to cook until a small amount of the juice gels on a very cold plate. Remove plate from freezer to test this out.
- Pour the juice and strawberries into pint-sized jars and keep refrigerated until it sets completely.
- The jam should be good for about 2 weeks.
